FOR PRIME MINISTER BENJAMIN.

NETANYAHU, FOCUS WILL BE ON THE. SITUATION WITH IRAN AND UPCOMING. AN VERSERY OF THE OCTOBER 7. TERRORIST ATTACK. REMEMBER, IT WAS ISRAEL AND THE. UNITED STATES THAT LAUNCHED. OPERATION EPIC FURY AGAINST THE. IRANIAN REGIME IN FEBRUARY. IT WAS THAT 40-DAY BOMBING. CAMPAIGN THAT RELIED ON U.S. AND. ISRAELI INTELLIGENCE TO TAKE OUT.

PREPARED FOR THE POSSIBILITY THE. CONFLICT EXPANDED. ACCORDING TO ISRAELI. INTELLIGENCE OFFICIALS, THEY. DELIVERED THIS MESSAGE TO THE. UNITED STATES, THEIR JETS ARE. RAEDZ READY IF THE PRESIDENT. STRIKES IRAN. AS RELATES TO IRAN, THERE IS. REPORT OF CARGO VESSEL IN STRAIT. OF HORMUZ THAT WAS HIT WITH AN. UNKNOWN PROJECTILE LIKELY. LAUNCHED BY THE IRGC ALONG THE.

PROCESS. DO YOU WANT TO START, PETER? >> Peter: BIG SURPRISE AT. BEGINNING OF EPIC FURY WHEN. IRANIANS LASHED OUT AT THEIR. NEIGHBORS THEY THOUGHT THEY WERE. ON FRIENDLIER TERMS WITH.

REALISTIC. AGAIN, PRESIDENT TRUMP IS. STARTING TO HEAR FROM MIDTERM. CANDIDATES IN IOWA, OHIO, IN. MICHIGAN, THAT PEOPLE IN MOST. COMPETITIVE RACES FOR. REPUBLICANS TO KEEP SENATE, THEY. THINK IT IS TIME TO END THE WAR. IN IRAN TO BRING GAS PRICES DOWN. SO THEY STAY COMPETITIVE IN THE. MIDTERM. THE PRESIDENT SAID HE DOES NOT. CARE ABOUT MIDTERM HE IS. PREVENTING IRAN FROM GETTING A. NUKE. IT IS A FACTOR.

IF THERE IS NONOT A MILITARY. OPTION LIKE ANNIHILATING, HE. WILL NEED THE GULF PARTNERS. ONBOARD WITH THE DIPLOMATIC. OPTION. >> Lawrence: TO BE FAIR, GULF. STATES, ARE WORRIED ABOUT SOME. WITHIN THEIR POPULATION THAT. AGREE WITH THE CAUSE OF IRAN,SA. WELL. IT IS NOT JUST A MATTER, THEIR. POLITICS ARE QUITE COMPLICATED,
